Search content of stored cabal messages #143

Closed dwblair closed 3 years ago

dwblair commented 5 years ago

Just realizing that this could be nice, now that the public cabal has so much fun content in it! For larger cabals like that, it would be neat to be able to search for previous content. Not a big priority, just putting it out there b/c y'all are such wizards I imagine it's somehow easy for you to do :)

cblgh commented 5 years ago

yes definitely! I have this in a private todo haha

i was thinking a simpler search should be the default, and then we can maybe have a more advanced search with a greplike syntax (there's gotta be a module for this that we can just pop in)

dwblair commented 5 years ago

Oooooh greplike syntax! How fun!

okdistribute commented 5 years ago

The content might already be greppable, if it's in a single hypercore data file

cblgh commented 5 years ago

it is! i do it often when debugging :3

i just want to implement some programmatic way of doing it cross-platform, from inside the interface of e.g. cabal-cli or even desktop

we've got this as of cabal-club/cabal-client#65!
